Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has accused U.S. and U.K. intelligence agencies of planning terrorist attacks on Russian military bases in Syria. The SVR claims these actions are intended to provoke Russia into withdrawing its forces from the region. The allegations suggest that the intelligence agencies are attempting to destabilize the situation in Syria following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad. The SVR did not provide specific evidence to support its claims, which have been widely reported by various news agencies. The situation reflects ongoing tensions between Russia and the West regarding military presence and influence in Syria.
